Pictures: JAREK PABIJAN Crump didn’t practise but raised both


arms above his head to show us that he had no apparent discomfort. Quite remarkable.


Not surprisingly, many riders didn’t bother with all of their scheduled six practice runs although, as usual, both Greg Hancock and Tomasz Gollob used their full quota. By the time practice finished, around 20.30,


everyone had one thought on their mind ... a cold beer!


Saturday, July 28:


AT this time of the year the sun rises early in Croatia and before breakfast the temperature was climbing rapidly.


Bertola and I had agreed to go with Boris


Kotnjek, formerly the boss of speedway in Slovenia, to pay a visit to the track in Lendava where this week’s round of the World Under 21 championship will be held. Saturdays at GP venues, even ones like


Prague, can be a little boring, sitting around waiting for the evening’s activities to commence, so we were happy to go for a ride.

Lendava is actually not that far from Gorican but we did have to leave the EU and enter Hungary and then Slovenia before arriving at our destination.
